Football Tickets: We are looking forward to another great year of Hazel Green Football. We would like to introduce you to a new online ticketing service, Preptix, that we are using at Hazel Green this year. We will be offering the availability for you to purchase tickets to our home sporting events online at preptix.com.
Varsity home football tickets are currently available for sale online. Also, some away game tickets can be purchased online, depending on if the opposing team is using Preptix as well. All Hazel Green home and away sporting events that have tickets available for sale online will be found at the weblink below:
The above online tickets will enter through the pass gate on Friday night.
Tickets will be on sale at Hazel Green Pharmacy the week of the game also.
We will sell student tickets to the students on Friday home games during lunch for $4.00.
We are offering the above options to buy tickets because the lines get long especially around 6:30 p.m.
Student Season Passes: We are going to try something new this year and offer a STUDENT season pass to all of our home athletic events. The cost is $50. This will get the student in to any athletic event, excluding AHSAA playoff games or jamboree type events. The pass is scannable, so the pass will work for one scan per event.
You can buy the pass two ways:
1. Buy online at www.preptix.com/hazelgreen, bring receipt to the main office, and Mrs. Sharp will issue the student the pass.
2. Bring cash to the main office, pay Mrs. Sharp, and she will issue the pass.
Student Season Passes will enter through the pass gate at football games and the regular gates at the other athletic events.
Pizza Deal: Every Monday after a football game, away or home, win or lose, Papa John's is doing BOGO pizza of equal or lesser value free.
